Is Dave right when he said GB is the cause of the worlds problem

An interesting and thought provoking article, which I believe was raised here on MN. Do you think there validity to his statement that GB have inadvertently created the problems over centuries, from the British empire, the division of the Ottoman Empire to WW1 etc?

You could cherry pick action of most world powers in the past - Spain, Portugal, Ottoman Empire, Rome and blame them for current socio-political issues. What you cannot do though is blame anyone alive today for the decisions of long dead white men who lived in the same country, and use this as justification for terror.

I think societies need to be very careful when looking back on who is is to blame and that is in no way denying you could apportion blame to many European countries. It just doesn't help in building a peace process.

No, he isn't. A thorough review of the long recorded history of the Middle East (not called the cradle of civilization for nothing), particularly a review of the Umayyad Empire and the Ottoman Empire, will show that the interaction between the Middle East and Europe has not been one-sided, so to speak -- as many seem to want to believe. Facts are facts; misinterpreting history, whether done innocently or with evil intent, isn't going to improve this terrible political and cultural situation in the least.
